Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sensor for measuring the quality of water; and more particularly, to a turbidity sensor for measuring the quality of water.
  • turbidity sensing techniques suffer from poor sensitivity (especially field-deployable sensors) stemming from poor/inefficient capture of scattered signal (solid angle).
  • Existing turbidity sensors typically employ a single excitation light source and a single, or point-like emission receiver, utilizing a photosensitive element. Regardless of the particular photosensitive element or excitation light source used, the current turbidity sensors known in the art are not opto-mechanically configured for efficient capture of solid angle resulting in compromised limit of detection for turbidity.
  • the difficulty with measuring scattering-based signals is the spatial/directional nature of randomly scattered optical radiation.
  • the spatial distribution of scattered radiation of a single turbid particle is well approximated by a sphere, resulting in 4p [steradians] solid angle of scattered radiation (See Fig. 1).
  • To optimally capture such a turbidity signal would require a photosensitive area that closely matches the radiation pattern, i.e., a photosensitive area in the shape of a spherical shell. See Fig. 1 . In view of this, there is a need in the art for a better turbidity sensor.
  • the turbidity measurement system includes a sample assembly that contains a plurality of samples, a light source that illuminates the sample assembly, and a light detection system that includes a two-dimensional light-sensitive array.
  • the light-sensitive array is simultaneously exposed to light transmitted through each of the samples in the sample assembly.
  • the exposure is analyzed to determine a mean transmitted light intensity for each sample and to calculate a turbidity value for each sample based on its mean transmitted light intensity.
  • Multiple exposures may be taken during a measurement period so as to obtain time-resolved turbidity measurements of the samples.
  • the temperature of the samples may be varied during the measurement period so as to measure turbidity as a function of temperature.
  • the present invention aims to greatly enhance the captured solid angle thereby significantly enhancing the sensitivity of turbidity measurements.
  • the sensor under consideration incorporates (insofar that is practicable in a field-rugged sensor) many of the features exhibited in the idealized long-cylinder geometry.
  • the present invention employs a linear photodiode array (the proposed approach is not limited to photodiode technology, e.g., a linear CCD or CMOS array could be used as well).
  • the linear array allows ample room for biofouling counter measures such as motorized wiping.
  • linear sensor arrays are currently available as relatively inexpensive commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) components.
  • COTS commercial-of-the-shelf
  • the key to this invention pertains specifically to the opto-mechanical configuration which utilizes a wide, linear array along the length of the quasi- collimated light source for enhanced signal capture. Additionally, the design allows for the capture of back scattered radiation — all in a single embodiment
  • the present design is compatible with non-intensity-based determinations of turbidity. These measurements are spatially dependent, the main idea being that an optical signal will undergo an attenuation across the linear array, following Beer’s law, thereby creating a “spatial gradient”. This spatial gradient contains information regarding the concentration of the turbidity.
  • the non-intensity-based measurement is immune to “drift” of the excitation source.
  • the spatial gradient is unaffected by moderate changes in the intensity of the excitation source, e.g., LED intensity degradation through the course of use, or a change in optical power due to thermal effects.
  • the “spatial gradient” method according to the present invention enables real time, inner filter effect (IFE) correction, which greatly enhances high-concentration sensing range. .
  • IFE inner filter effect
  • a known technique of inner filter correction involves post processing via lab analysis after a field deployment.
  • the “spatial gradient” method according to the present invention also allows for certain types of interference correction not achievable with amplitude- based techniques known in the art.
  • the above “spatial gradient” method requires that each optical element in the array be individually addressable.
  • there is a possible variant of the design that involves connecting all of the linear array elements in a parallel configuration which would preclude the possibility of individual addressability.
  • such a design variant could be modified to include a transmission photodiode (located at the end of the array, opposite of the source) which would restore the sensor’s ability to perform drift correction and IFE correction.
  • the present invention may include, or take the form of, apparatus featuring a signal processor or processing module configured to: receive signaling containing information about light reflected off suspended matter in a liquid and sensed by a linear sensor array having rows and columns of optical elements; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about a concentration of parameter of the liquid, based upon the signaling received

  • the linear sensor array may include a linear photodiode array.
  • the linear sensor array may include a linear CCD array.
  • the linear sensor array may include a linear CMOS array.
  • the linear sensor array may include a closed cylinder sensor array having a three-dimensional cylindrical array of the rows and columns of the optical elements.
  • the apparatus may be a turbidity sensor.
  • the apparatus may include a quasi-collimated light source having a length and being configured to provide the light, including quasi-collimated light, along a corresponding length of the linear sensor array.
  • the signal processor or processing module may be configured to determine the parameter based upon an attenuation of an optical signal sensed across the linear sensor array.
  • the linear sensor array may include a two-dimensional array of optical elements that are individually addressable.
  • the signal processor or processing module may be configured to determine the turbidity based upon a spatial gradient of an optical signal sensed across the linear sensor array that contains information about the concentration of the turbidity.
  • the optical elements may be individually addressable by the signal processor or processing module.
  • Either the rows or the columns of the optical elements may be connected in parallel and addressable by the signal processor or processing module; the apparatus may include a transmission photodiode located at an end of the linear sensor array, opposite the light source, configured to respond to the light reflected off the suspended matter and provide transmission photodiode signaling containing information about the same; and the signal processor or processing module may be configured to receive the photodiode signaling and correct the corresponding signaling for drift or the inner filter effect.

  • the linear sensor array may include rows and columns of optical elements and be configured to sense light reflected off suspended matter in the liquid sample along the length of the quasi-collimated light source and provide signaling containing information about the light reflected off the suspended matter.

  • Computer-readable Storage Medium According to some embodiments of the present invention, the present invention may also take the form of a computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable components for performing the steps of the aforementioned method.
  • the computer-readable storage medium may also include one or more of the features set forth above.
  • the present invention offers distinct advantages over the current known techniques in the prior art, as follows:
  • a linear sensor array provides a much larger overall active area to capture scattered rays. More importantly, the active area is larger in the dimension that matters most, along the direction of the quasi-collimated excitation source. Additionally, a wider linear array is preferred over a thin one for reasons stated above, increased active area. However, there is a limit of diminishing return regarding the width, i.e., an array width that does not roughly match the diameter of the excitation beam appears non-ideal.
  • the present invention enables measurement of backscattered radiation (in addition to the radially emitted side scatter) - all in a single sensing embodiment.
